Description
Clearful and the Queen is the beautifully-told story of Lali and her big sister, Abba, who decide to tell the Queen all about their new word, ‘clearful’.
After inventing the word during a trip to their grandparents’ house, they decide to write to the Queen and, to their surprise, she writes back! By royal decree, the new word ‘clearful’ is added to the English dictionary, announced at the opening of the Houses of Parliament and even taught in schools. Invited by the Queen to tea, Lali and Abba embark on an adventure together to reach the Palace, aided and abetted by their cat, Smokey. If they get there in time, what will they find when they arrive?
Clearful and the Queen is a light-hearted story of two young sisters. Full of beautifully hand-drawn illustrations, this is a captivating tale that will appeal to young children.

Lovely illustrations and a clear, simple story line make for a charming picture book about word invention and the adventure of having tea with the Queen. The book could serve as a great springboard for discussions about words, sisterhood, the English system of government, and the love for animals.
Amina M, Reviewer
Lali invents a new word, "Clearful", her sister liked it and so did her family. She decides to write a letter to the queen to tell her about it, and to her surprise, the latter replied, added the word to the dictionary and invited them to a tea party.
The story was sweet and the illustrations were cute and really beautiful.
